Colorado. Moments ago, reacting to the news that the fbi is reopening its investigation about the private email server, throwing the president ial race into turmoil. With the agency reportedly examining new emails after it seized Electronic Devices belonging to huma abedin and her estranged husband, former new york congressman, anthony wiener, as part of a separate investigation. Hillary clinton responded to the news late friday and called on fbi james comey to immediately release whatever information he has. We are 11 days out from perhaps the most Important National election of our lifetime. Voting is already underway in our country. So the American People deserve to get the full and complete facts immediately. The director himself has said he doesnt know whether the emails referenced in his letter are significant or not. I im confident whatever they are, will not change the conclusion reached in july. Joining the panel this week, wall street columnist, dan hellinge, jason riley, joe rego, and columnist, kim strassel. Kim, fbi director comey told his agents this week in a memo that fox news has obtained that he felt obliged as a public duty tow release this information to congress before the election. How do you read that . Look, i mean, it is very hard to know whats going on here. You have to assume given the upheaval, and given it was obvious it would cause a political firestorm, there must be something there pertinent or concerning enough that he felt they did need to move ahead with this and tell congress. But you also have to wonder if this is isnt also maybe a cover your backside effort by mr. Comey, as details have come out about the first fbi probe, and all of the incredible irregularities, an Congress Looking into that. He may have felt the need to cover his tracks, as it were, and make it look like they were being more thorough than they have been. The thing is, i would sort of lean to the first one, because he is taking an enormous amount of abuse for this. So if this turns out to be nothing, if this turns out to be just yoga, and what are you doing thursday night, i mean, thats he is going to take guess to go really under the hot seat . Well, look, clintons comments there, they are spin. We dont know, and i mean, she is trying to make it sound like he has no include, it is unrelated. There is no way he would have made that announcement without having some good grounds for believing whatever is on these Electronic Devices is an immediate bearing on the investigation they were doing. Dan, what about that point, though, that kim said . Maybe he was criticized, comey was criticized, and we criticized him too for the conduct of his first investigation, which i thought was inadequate, had irregularities, troubling. And republicans had criticized him for that. Could this be saying if youre going to investigate me, ive got to make sure, every detail, no matter how large, i show you before the election, i got it out there, so im not accused of a coverup. I think thats right. So much of this is conjecture, to be sure. My conjecture would be his decision to do what he did in july was not popular throughout the fbi, he testified before congress that the investigation in his words had been completed. Obviously had not been completed. The Investigative Team that was covering this continued to work. They obviously have come up with something, and they must have gone in to direc core comey and put it on his desk and said this is what we have. We have to deal with this now. I think the fbi is trying to protect its reputation which has suffered grievous damage since mr. Comey did that. Not just the results werent popular, how he handled the release of the result wasnt popular. Jim comeys job is to conduct an investigation and turn the results over to the Justice Department. Thats it. He is not supposed to be giving running commentary, public analysis of how he reached the decision. It was extraordinary behavior. Now he wants to do, throw this bomb into the election and zip up and say i cant say any more because of a ongoing election. You cant have it both ways. On that point, democrats are lining up all day today, every Democratic Group and spokesman saying mr. Comey, off he go the to tell us. Youve got to come clean here. Tell us whats going on. And weve seen the Justice Department distance themselves from comey, Loretta Lynch saying i would not have gone public with this. Number one, can comey resist that, and say nothing between now and the election . We realize, theyre not going to finish this investigation before the election. I dont think he can, and i dont think he should. This this close to the election, the voters of america have a right to know whether the person theyre going to elect is going to enter office with an ongoing investigation. I think you disagree with that, dan. We t would set a very bad president dent. It reduces the fbi to wikileaks, taking all of stuff they have and throwing it out on the public like wikileaks does. Thats not the way the fbi operates, and i dont think thats the sort of were he is dent that we want to establish for them. They cant, either f there is classified information, and the question is here is classified information, they cant just release all of this. They have to be careful with that. Thats going to take time to review. And i think agree. Im not sure i would just throw it all out there, you know. Look, she made this one thing we need to remember. Only one person to blame for this entire explosion, and thats Hillary Clinton, who made her private email server in the first place. Joe, the campaign, the Clinton Campaign in its response hass has elevated this, accusing comey of being politically motivated, rolling out spokesman after spokesman. Is that a political mistake maybe in elevating it . Would they have been smarter to say look, he exonerated me in july and this a mall detail. Lets not worry about it. Theyve been running all along with the exoneration, Hillary Clinton mentioning it in the debate. There is a little irony. About the transparency point. I think they did a panel last night and said here are a variety of responses to it, and ignoring it was inadequate. You meet a voter panel. Yes. Did a quick overnight poll, and it is probably raised a lot of new doubts about her candidacy that she feels like she has to address politically. And trump clearly believes this is a big assist to him. He is driving the corruption theme with it. But is there a danger here that he could overplay his hand . He said look, he said today for example, there are 33,000 emails that she didnt that we havent seen, and some of them may have been found, and we have no evidence of that. The phrase could donald trump overplay his hand is something to conjure with at any moment. I dont think so. I think that is email server has always been her greatest vulnerability. It is a source for credibility and trustworthiness problem. It dates back to march 2015, when it came out, and i think he is right to lean on her on this one. Jason, do you agree . He can play that hand. I dont know if thats enough for him to make up the gap that she has right no you, the lead that she has, which i believe is about four or five Points National nationally. Were going to talk about that. Still ahead, polls for the white house tightening even before the latest clinton email controversy. What should we expect, heading into the final Campaign Final stretch. Well ask doug shone, next. Cno artificial flavors. Philadelphia® garden vegetable. Rich, creamy.

And be better protected from mayhem, like me. Announcement, the race was tightening, though differing by how much . The real clear politics average gives Hillary Clinton a 3. 8 stage point leave over donald trump. So will the latest email developments move the needle. Fox news contributor doug schoen joins us now. Thanks paul. Before this, lets set aside the fbi development first. Where was the race before . The real clear politics average was about right. About 3. 54 points tightening, but still a decisive or clear lead nationally and clear lead in the swing states, virtually all. One had it by two, another three. So it could be narrower than that, or possibly. What were seeing in both the abc and ibd poll is that the trump voters have greater enthusiasm, the republicans are coming home, over eight in ten republicans now with donald. Also showing some Movement Among independents. Yes, the independents are moving in the direction of donald trump. Independents have historically not liked the secretary. She has been within a couple of points of him all the way. And her own factorabilivorabili the democrats clearly seem to be worried enough that theyre pushing back very hard. Yes, they are. So what do you think an event like this, coming so late, what effect does it have on the race . So many people have already decided. Sure, a couple of things. First, you were speaking of the independents, i was mentioning republicans moving to trump. That will only be, i believe, facilitated by this process. People who had doubts about the secretary say look, i just cant vote for her. It will also increase the likelihood to turn out of those groups who also dont like donald trump all that much. So for republicans who might have getting demoralized that trump couldnt win, maybe there is a chance, so that might help trumps turnout. Thats precisely the abc poll has shown. What about this new information here . I mean, secretary clinton said all along, since july, i was exonerated, and now this comes in, and trump will pay on the possibility that she could become the next president of having this sitting over here as a threat to her presidency. But it is so late in the campaign, when do voters tune out new information . Or do they ever . I think most voters tune out most information, unless it is clear and unambiguous. For example, in 1980, we had news that the hostages werent coming out and we had the final debate between reagan and carter. That was clear. It broke massively. Right. I dont think this is Something Like that. Because were fought clear as you were suggesting on the panel before, what precisely is going on with the fbi. How much of a review is going on. And it isnt even clear that the investigation itself is reopened. Right. Well, or if it even ended. Correct. Thats one of the things, too. Thats true too. But i mean, im trying to think of a campaign where late information like this really made a difference. You mentioned 1980. I can think of 2000, the late dui news about george w. Bush, that hurt him. Yes, it did. And the thing that is particularly damaging for the secretary of state, this came nine or ten days before the election, which means voters have a chance to process it, and given that both broadcast and cable news have focused on virtually nothing else since midday yesterday, there is going to be ample opportunity this week for voters to focus on this, and to try to make their own sense of whats going on. Which voters are left now who are undecided . You talked about mobilizing the people already committed or put demobilizing. Who is persuadable . Who are they . We have some republican, nonCollege Educated women, theyre persuadable. Doubts about yes, and some of the issues with women that he has had to face. We had problems with independent men and women, College Educated more difficult than nonCollege Educated. But there has been a huge problem there. Trump needs to win them by over 10 to 15 points. So far, he is not there yet. Are there enough to persuade . Theoretically, yes, paul. The other thing is democratic turn out jo be suppressed. A lot of democrats dont have a lot of enthusiasm for the secretary. Millennials, a lot of middle age men. They may just decide not to vote. Sit it out. What states should we be looking for and where should we look for movement if the fbi will have an impact. Start with florida and ohio. Donald trump needs to win those two states. Weve got to look to states like New Hampshire and nevada. The clintons, as we were discussing, have sent chelsea, tim kaine and 2 million in advertising to wisconsin. We look at the midwest. Fascinating. Yeah, and pennsylvania, which is within five. So if that happens, youll see closing there. Precisely. Were going to see closing i think, im not sure yet, it will tip decisively. We have to keep an eye on it. Thank you. When we come back, battle for Congress Heating up, as republicans season a new campaign strategy, running as a check on Hillary Clinton.

Yet another innovation only at a sleep number store. Maintain control of the house and senate, a new strategy is emerging in the closing weeks. Urging voters to elect republican candidate as a check on a potential Clinton Presidency. Here is one targeting Democratic Congressman rick nolan in minnesota. Rick nolan is standing with Hillary Clinton. Not minnesota families. Nolan would give hillary a blank check to run new gas and job destroying taxes. Like hillary, nolan supports the iran nuclear deal, that gave 100 billion that gave it to radical terrorism. Wrong on spending. Wrong on national security. Wrong for minnesota families. Were back with dan henninger, and wall street columnist, Brett Stevens joins the panel. Jason, do you think this is a smart strategy by republican as soon as. I think it is. This is the selfpreservation strategy that paul ryan unleashed his caucus to pursue. Several weeks ago, it wasnt uncontroversi uncontroversial, but the right call. We see a state by state, race by race strategy. If you go into a deep red state like missouri, you see a candidate like roy blunt, not distancing himself from trump, because he has a red state there. Trump will probably win it and his democratic opponent is speaking trumps language, im the outsider, because he needs trump voters to win. You go to nevada, however, you find jill hack who is having more difficulty navigating of trump supporters. What you see is a lot of the republican candidates mentioning clinton in ads, nancy pelosi, and saying we need to be a check on that. One quick point. In the most recent wall street journal poll, they asked people whether they would were he fer a Republican Congress as a check on her or a Democratic Congress to help her enact her agenda. The answer was they preferred republicans by 13 . Thats a significant number. If thats out there for the republicans to try to tap into, i think there is a basis for running this campaign. The big mistake, they should have done this in august. They should have anticipated that trump would implode, further scandals and problems, and they would have avoided this phenomenon of republicans turning late in the game against trump. I think if someone like kelly ayotte has been against trump, she would not be in such a tight race as she is now. Lets run an ad on that point before we go to you, kim, from New Hampshire. Would you tell a child to a expi be aspire to be like donald trump . Absolutely i would do that. I would look at her in that fat ugly face. I would move on her like a [ bleeping ]. Like a magnet. They let you do it. Do any of it. Do you treat women with respect . I cant say that, either. All right. Would you point to him as a role model. Absolutely, i would do that. All right, kim, we know kelly ayotte has distanced herself from donald trump along the way. Immediately after that particular statement. But to take up bretts point, the republicans would have been smarter to distance themselves from trump much earlier in the campaign. I disagree with that a little bit. Here is why. If you look at history there is good evidence to show that when ticket splitting works most fecally fe effectively winning. Im not quite sure i want to give this person a blank check, and they begin debating, going in and splitting their vote between someone at the top and someone in the middle. Thats what you now see happening here. It has worked for republicans in the past. If you go back to 1996, it was only at the point at which it was clear bob dole was going to lose to bill clinton that House Republicans and Senate Republicans began running ads like this, will be a check on bill clinton and they did in fact keep congress. So i mean, i think this is a natural progression at how campaigns role out. The question would if youve got, the Republican Party has two bases. The College Educated in the swing suburban districts, not in love with trump to say the least. Then you have the trump base. And they need both of those, and a lot of these states to win. Right now, the power of the ad we just saw comes from ayottes refusal to distance herself earlier, and what you could now have are congressmen and senators saying they were taking a principle stand for a long time, not making a political move at the last moment, that makes them seem weak. I also think the democratseredemocratse democratser democrats erred, and that tempt to link every single candidate running any where in the country to donald trump has come across as a big stretch for a lot of voters. I think the fbi business is going to help some of these down ballot republicans, because they can link their opponent to Hillary Clinton. Some of them have said she is honest and trustworthy which this will erode. Thats exactly right. Billy bush video was an october surprise, and this is this ok october surprise. This will allow the Senate Candidates to get on the same message, which will be her credibility over the fbi and the email server. Theyre going to be running on offense and against the same target. This may not be the last surprise. Oh, it wont be. All right, still ahead, another obama care shot, as the Administration Announces double premium increases next year.

One of the most Important Reasons you have to vote is that we can immediately, without question, so simply repeal and care. Ce the disaster known as donald trump in colorado earlier this afternoon. Reacting to news that premiums under president obamas Affordable Care act are set to soar by double digit, and in some cases, much more. It is an issue that could be a deciding factor in close senate races. Here is a new ad byr ryan johnson. He brags about being deciding vote. Thats not something to brag about. P premiums and double and triple. Obama care is crushing small businesses. All the damage obama care has done, how can he brag about that. He should be ashamed. Were back with dan henninger, joe rago, Brett Stephens and kim strassel. This hasnt been about substance that much, but it is intruding in a big way. How much trouble is the lion . Beyond the 25 premium increase, youve had lower than expected enrollment, a lot less Competition Among providers and Health Insurers who are quitting the exchanges, so a lot of planned cancelations, fewer choices. The thing i would add is that onesixth of the people of the American People are affected in some way by obama care. So one out of six, thats a lot of people, and could be a deciding factor. Entitlements are supposed to be popular, because it is free money. Were giving you something and you dont have to pay for it. That has always been the selling point, and thats what democrats thought this time, too. Why isnt it working this time . Well, i think they wrote really restrictive regulations that distort the market. So thats why insurers, which are now price controlled, cant make any money. Theyre saying, well, lets hit the road. Lets listen to president obama defend his plan. I have always said that for all the good that the Affordable Care act is doing right now, for as big a step forward as it was, its still just a first step. Its like building a starter home. Or buying a starter home. It is a lot better than that, having a home, but you hope that over time, you make some improvements. Kim, what do you make of the starter home . It is like buying a shack, you know. It is a lot of holes and drafty doors. I mean, it is really remarkable, watching the president , and democrats at the moment, trying to now come up with these excuses. The other day he said it is like we scraped some bugs off the windshield. Another great one. Yeah, another great one. But when in reality, these structure of the law is the problem. There is no way to anybodile around the edges, and fix it that way. The other interesting thing you hear democrats making, this only applies to a certain percentage of americans in the obama care exchanges. The reason as you were talking about with joe that this is in fact resonating, why whats happening in the Insurance Markets outside of obama care, and it is hurting people that get their insurance from their workplaces, and it is, noy, hurting people in all different kinds of realms and forums. So it is an issue that really impacts a lot of the electorate. More and more people, people lose their jobs, jason. If you lose employer sponsored coverage, you end up being tossed in the exchanges and you say hey, wait a minute, these arent the options i was told about. If you dont take enough money, youre tossed into medicaid. Thats what donald trump should be talking about, paul. For most voters are, jobs and economy, but this tie news that. Donald trump needs to explain to people what health care mandates, why theyre a drag on the economy. Why employers are less likely to hire and so forth. You are an optimist. He has not been willing to make that connection, to stick to that issue. I think thats been a huge reason why this issue hasnt resonated more in the campaign. Well, you know, paul, every president ial campaign is a meteor shower to try to process and youre trying to get them to focus on a couple of things. In the last two things, theyve focused on two things. One, the email serve r, and obama care. It has never been popular with the American People and now you have people like ron johnson or todd young in indiana, running against evan bye, who provided the 60th vote for obama care. It is something people have on their minds. This is something i hear from republicans, they think this could save the senate, if any issue is. One race i look at is arizona, where john mccain has been running on this for a long time. 116 increase for 2017, only one insurer in phoenix. So there is tangible things these candidates can point to. The other thick theyre running on is solutions. Not at the top of the ticket, but certainly at the senate and house, theyre saying here is how well repair it, bring more choice and competition. Mccain is running against Ann Kirkpatrick who has called obama care one of her proudest moments in politics. Still ahead, Elizabeth Warren, hitting the campaign trail. What price will hillary pay for her support, if she wins the white house. I dont know about you, but i can listen to elizabeth go on all day.

But i couldnt bear my diabetic nerve pain any longer. So i talked to my doctor and he prescribed lyrica. Nerve damage from diabetes causes diabetic nerve pain. Lyrica is fda approved to treat this pain, from moderate to even severe diabetic nerve pain. Lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions or suicidal thoughts or actions. Tell your doctor right away if you have these, new or worsening depression, or unusual changes in mood or behavior. Or swelling, trouble breathing, rash, hives, blisters, muscle pain with fever, tired feeling or blurry vision. Common side effects are dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain and swelling of hands, legs, and feet. Dont drink alcohol while taking lyrica. Dont drive or use machinery until you know how lyrica affects you. Those who have had a drug or alcohol problem may be more likely to misuse lyrica. Now i have less diabetic nerve pain. And these feet would like to keep the beat going. Ask your doctor about lyrica. Game about how the game is rigged. Lets be clear. Donald trump is right. The game is rigged. It is rigged for guys like donald trump. And i say it is time to fight back. Massachusetts senator, Elizabeth Warren, on the campaign trail with Hillary Clinton this week. Warrens support, and that of fellow senator, bernie sanders, bringing reluctant progressives into the fold. What role would they play in a Clinton Presidency . Dan, you heard before the break, secretary clinton say look, i could listen to Elizabeth Warren all day. Is she going to have to . Yeah, i think she gets into the white house and if the deems take the senate, senator warren will be on the phone just about everyday running what i suggest will be a co presidency with Elizabeth Warren and bernie sanders. Yeah, you called it the Warren Sanders presidency. I thought it was Hillary Clinton on the ballot. Yeah, thats what she thinks. Look, the democrats and hillary, i mean, Elizabeth Warren is out there campaigning to get the senate back under democratic control, because if they plan to move the party to the left, Elizabeth Warren along with these left wing groups, according to politico and others, have a list of appointees they have not accept in a clinton administration. No centrist. For example, gene sterling, who served in bill clintons office and with barack obama. And was associated with Goldman Sachs for a while. Anybody who has those associations wont be allowed to get appointed if they control the senate. Bernie sanders will be given chairmanship of the finance, and Hillary Clinton is if she wins, will have to be listening to them. We know that the democratic primary had huge riffs between the clintons and progressives, and they spent a lot of time over the past six months trying to repair the rift. Then we get these emails, which has exploded, and just ripped it apart once again. You now have, you know, the progressives are already suspicious of Hillary Clinton, and now they have the proof in writing of democratic operatives, calling them duphus, radical. Somebody is keeping a list and theyre going to use it. I know that from the democrats, i know in this city on wall street, they figure basically were not going to be able to get jobs. But kim, Hillary Clinton is saying publicly all the time, im going to work with republicans, reach out to republicans if i win the white house. What is the reality here . Is that going to be possible . She is not going to have any flexibility to do that. Look, Elizabeth Warren is campaigning for her, because she wants a democratic in the white house so she can then tell what to do. She is not going to have any chance if there is a republican there. She is not doing this because she agrees in any way with clintons platforms or policies. She is going do to clinton what she has done to obama. Look it he last few weeks. Elizabeth warren has been on a campaign against president obama own securities and exchange chief, Mary Joe Wright that she has to stepped down. She has taken a lot of stances on those policies. The progressives believe this a white house that will have more ability to control than less. You follow joe, what Elizabeth Warren did to antonio weiss, a wall street veteran they wanted to be a treasury, president obama did, and they said we wont confirm him for an official post. So they had to make him a special assistant appointy, political appointy. Yeah, the other case i would highlight is wells fargo c oech ceo, john stump, who almost single handedly said he should be forced out of the job. Raising it to such a key point on the left. What weve learned from the wikileaks is hillary Clinton Campaign is constantly concerned about activating Elizabeth Warren in some way. Getting her fired up that stops their agenda. Exactly. Here is the interesting thing to me. Hillary clinton talks about working with republicans, she has a big place in the center where she could go, but yet if you look at her ideas, she hasnt moved to the center. She has moved to the left on spending, school choice. Yeah, i mean, thats the political hillary. There is also the Goldman Sachs hillary when she is behind closed doors saying we need more trade and we need more inter all the rest of it. I think she is boxing herself in on the political hillary, which she has made all these promises to progressive voters, theyre going to expect her to followthrough. All right, joe, thank you very much. When we come back, two weeks into the battle to retake the Islamic State strong hold in iraq. Well have an update from mosul
